Dramatiker: Simon Stephens
“The rationalist in me says that Stephens doesn´t prepare for it too well. Yet the rationalist in me should probably take a walk, because his point is that irrationality, unpredictability, confusion stalk the places frequented by those about to take their A-levels.” /The Times
“… confronts young people as they really are, and build inexorable towards its tragic and violent climax.” /Guardian
“In his superb new play — Stephens evoke the twilight world of the teenager with scary vividness.” /Daily Telegraph
“Stephens, once a teacher, now a parent, writes with an astonishing authenticity and intensity, expertly nailing teenage turmoil, the teasing and taunting that goes too far.” /Mail on Sunday
“… Simon Stephens has created a stark, bracing and eventually brutal portrait of adolescent relationships in his new play… Its one of the best plays of the year, whose themes have sadly reverberated in recent newspaper headlines.” /Sunday Express
“Stephens shows adolescence as a time of collective disturbance, rampantly uncertain sexuality and random humor.” /Observer
